Surprise Baby Girl-Ch 17

As the work day passed on Penelope was getting madder and madder, she took her glasses off and pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "who does he think he is to try to boss me around". She was so deep in thought that she jumped when someone knocked on her door, she said, "come in mere mortal", Derek opened the door and said,
"mere mortal me, I don't think so".

She turned around and saw him and practically jumped out of her chair and ran into his arms, he wrapped his arms around her and said, "baby what's wrong"?, she didn't answer and melted in her hotstuffs arms. He ran his hand up and down her back and said, "are you hurt, did somebody hurt, oh my God did Chad hurt you"?, she shook her head and said, "n n no".

He pulled away and said, "tell me what's wrong"?, she said, "I'm just going through so much right now, the stress is starting to get to me that's all", he kissed the top of her head and said, "maybe we should cancel our movie ni" and she quickly said, "NO". Derek said, "alright, alright but are you sure that you're alright"?, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine, just fine".

Derek said, "we're getting read to head out, do you want to join us"?, she said, "yes please, maybe a few drinks will mellow me out", he said, "alright, grab your stuff and let's head out Cinderella". She laughed and said, "does that mean that your car will turn into a pumpkin at midnight"?, he laughed and said, "not at all my gorgeous baby girl".

She shut her babies down and grabbed her things and then looped her arm through his as they headed out to the elevator to join the rest of their team, both JJ and Emily could tell that something was wrong but decided that now wasn't the time to push so they let it temporarily slide. As they stepped onto the elevator Hotch said, "I think that a few drinks will help mellow us all out after a long case".

Penelope looked at him and said, "so true bossman, so true", Derek rested his chin on her forehead and said, "I think some family bonding is in order", Reid said, "I agree with Morgan, it's been a long time since we've had drinks as a family and that a few drinks is in order". Derek smiled and said, "right on prettyyyyy boyyyy",
causing them all to laugh as the doors opened and they stepped off and headed toward their cars.

What Penelope didn't see was Chad and Savannah sitting across the parking lot and they didn't notice that they were being followed all they thought about was being together as a family. When they pulled up at the bar they all got out laughing and talking and as they walked inside Savannah said, "he thinks getting drunk with his buddies is better than spending time with my son"?, Chad intertwined fingers with her and said, "don't worry, soon Hank will be where he belongs and that's with you and me".

When the bartender saw Derek he hugged him and said, "welcome back brother", Derek said, "it's good to be back", he looked at the team and said, "drinks for you all is on the house tonight". Penelope said, "you are amazing Max", he winked at her and said, "and don't you forget it little lady", she giggled and said, "not in this life handsome" and Derek wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, "heyyyyyyy you don't get to call another man handsome, that's alllllllll for me".

Penelope laughed and said, "alright handsome how about a twirl on the dance floor"?, he said, "lead the way goddess", she took him by the hand and led him to the center of the now croweded dance floor. The entire team was dancing around him as he pulled her into his arms, he sighed happily as the scent of her perfume once again filled his nostrils.

Savannah and Chad waited a few minutes before heading inside, they peeped around the corner and saw Derek and Penelope slow dancing in the center of the floor, Chad took a deep breath and said, "look at them, just look at the scene they're making". Savannah leaned in and whispered something in his ear, he grinned and said, "I love it" before he made his way across to the unsuspecting couple.

Chad tapped Derek on the shoulder and said, "may I cut in"?, he said, "no" and started dancing to the other side of the room, Chad charged over and pulled Dereks hands off of Penelope and said, "get your hands off of my fiancee". Derek said, "first she isn't your fiancee and second if she wants my hands off of her all she has to do is ask me and I'll remove them".

Chad said, "you bast" and then popped him in the face earning a scream as Penelope watched Derek stumble back before lunging at Chad
